Available backends per provider

Not all backends are available in all environments, this is not always obvious from the SDK alone. Use connection.fetch_available_devices() to confirm what’s available on your specific connection.

Create a connection

A connection is the authenticated session that links your Python code to whichever platform processes your job. Think of it as the cloud provider entry point — it determines which backends you can access, how billing works, and where you monitor results.

Creating a connection is independent of your choice of library (QoolQit, Pulser, QUBO, etc.) and backend (EMU_FREE, FRESNEL, etc.). The same Pulser sequence can be submitted through any of the four providers below, only the connection object changes.
